Heisinger Bluffs in Jefferson City, MO
5.0

I have a dear friend at Heisinger Bluffs in Assisted Living. She often talks about how she is so happy she moved to Heisinger Bluffs. She loves her spacious apartment and often comments on the kindness, professionalism, and expertise of the staff. She thinks the food is exceptional and much better than she expected. She enjoys the wellness center and exercise classes as well as the many activities. She recommends Heisinger Bluffs very highly, as do I.
